Debacle in Bamberg: German basketball players clearly lose against the Czech Republic

Bamberg, Deutschland - The German basketball players have to accept a significant defeat at the start of their preparation. In the first test game against the Czech Republic, the DBB women lost 70:86 on Saturday evening in Bamberg. The halftime score of 34:45 testifies to a course of the game that put the team behind the opponent from the start, which is currently in 18th place in the world rankings. Frieda Bühner's top performance, which scored 19 points and 7 rebounds, could not prevent the defeat. The hit rate from a distance was also anything but satisfactory for the German team with only 17 percent.

The captain Marie Gülich suffered an injury during the game, which made the situation even more difficult for the DBB women. Czech Republic dominated the game and won each of the four quarters, while four players from the Czech team reached a double -digit score. Tereza Vyoralova was the most successful thrower of her team with 14 points, while the German team had to do without the support of the WNBA players Nyara Sabally, Leonie Fiebich and Luisa Geiselsöder.
